A homeowner in Mount Hawthorn contacted us after their garage door motor stopped responding. The old motor had failed and the door would not open or close using the remote or wall button.
Non-functioning garage door motor is more than an inconvenience. It leaves your vehicle trapped and your home exposed if the door cannot close properly. Attempting to force the door open manually without disconnecting the motor first can also damage the opener mechanism and the door’s tracks.
Our technician arrived the same day, confirmed the old motor had failed beyond repair, and replaced it with a new Merlin motor. The installation included mounting and wiring the new unit, programming the remotes, and adjusting the open and close travel limits to match the full range of the sectional panel lift door.
We also carried out a full safety inspection as part of the job to make sure everything was working properly.
Mount Hawthorn is close to the coast, so garage door hardware here is exposed to salt air corrosion. We recommend annual inspections for properties in Mount Hawthorn, Leederville, Joondanna, and North Perth.
